Probably a dumb question. Vzw sg3 on other USA carrier? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Looking at getting off Verizon, do not want to get another contract.
What is the status of our phone working on hspa? I've read in the development forum that in parts of Europe it gets hspa speeds as well as 3g so it's a Verizon thing?
Am rooted, unlocked yadda yadda running paranoid android rom.
Thx all.

Sell your phone for $300+, get a new one on your new carrier for less. Why keep it?

Thanks, but I am looking to set up on a prepaid service more or less. Guess I should have mentioned that in the op.

Won't work on US HSPA. There is a bounty thread in the forum trying to get it to work. Get another phone as other poster recommended. Will get EVDO speed. My other Rezound is Global on TMobile get EVDO only. Everything else will work tho.

At&t uses different radio bands for 3g/4g. You will only be able to access the edge network.
So what do u think using the infuse in tmobile? Is it better to just get the phone thats locked to its own carrier.or the sim unlock phone?

Your going to have really slow data. That's the only difference. It will still work just fine just take for ever to use the net and things like that since it will only be on edge. I'd just suggest sticking with a carrier specific phone if your worried about data speeds.
Wat phone from at&t will fully work for tmobile 3g/4g data...

Likely none - I have yet to see an AT&T phone that supported the AWS 3G band that T-Mobile uses.

[Q] Skyrocket on T-Mobile

I must have been tired as hell when I read this but...I can't seem to find anything on it atm...If I flash the T-mobile modem, with an unlocked Skyrocket does it get 3g? I know not LTE(700mhz) but for some reason I think I read somewhere about it working.
Yes it will. Just flash a t-mobile modem in the skyrocket and you will get 3G on t-mobile. It has been tested and confirmed working.
Lol.I couldn't find anything on YouTube for this..might have to switch up my for sale thread.

Check the "Our phone is... amazing" thread on the Skyrocket forums. Been using mine on AWS for a few days now and it works better than my hercules did. Flash the KID modem, it seems to be better for signal

att or verizon

soi switched to verizon four months ago because att service has gotten crappy. now i ordered my verizon s3 and find out that the bootload is locked.... should i switch back to att or stay on verizon? what would yall do?
Is it worth an etf?
i'm on at&t and i'm pleased with my service. i don't live in a major city and i consistently get 6-8mbps down and 1-1.5mbps up. for normal browsing it is more than adequate. no issues with call quality.
i'm also pleased with my phone. with my current configuration (see sig) i'm getting 5000-5100 in quadrant. benchmarks aren't a perfect indicator of how good the phone is, but the number is still impressive.
go back to AT&T
AT&T LTE is faster and Verizon new Share Data isn't all that. Too little data for so much money. AT&T!
We only have 3g where I live for at&t and lte on Verizon. I would keep my Verizon line for home Wi-Fi.

Go to ATT!

Att is faster and eventually get to the point where verizon is at with lte locations.

At&t is very good to us, and the service here is amazing. Then again, Baltimore being so close to D.C. is probably the reason. LTE has been deployed here for awhile and the speeds are insane. We've always had issues with Verizon at my house

Just afraid that I'll start having all those dropped calls again, I don't have any with Verizon
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I have the att version I got 24.8mbps dl and 8 ul. No dropped calls either. Pretty amazing device so far

I always prefer gsm carriers to cdma ones. It feels weird having a phone that you cannot use if you travel abroad, especially europe where most carriets are gsm.
do you want locked bootloaders or better coverage?
Wonder if the locked bootloader is going to be a trend for Verizon?

Every lock have a key, I'm moving from ATT to Verizon (700$ etf) just because of the dropped calls. Can't stand it any more.

Trying to use T-Mobile on VZW GS3

I've been trying to put my GS3 working on T-Mobile and all i can get is Voice And Messages but the Data that i get is only Edge which is slow as a snail.
I've been using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809314
Is there anyway i can get 4G or atleast the 3G?
And is it because of the bands or frequency thing that it doesn't work?
Any help will be appreciated
I'm guessing here...download Verizon radio? See dev section

possible or not? Fido version to work on wind?

I came across a great deal the other day, thought i would upgrade my HTC mytouch to a htc 1 s.
Now I've got this great device... but i don't think it supports the bands.
From what I've read it's the same device, same FCC ID and everything... i've unlocked it, but won't connect.
any takers?
possible?

i meant to say mobilicity, not wind... it won't even pick up any networks though. seems like aws isn't activated or something on the device.
I use an unlocked Fido One S on Wind, it works perfectly, I actually get better reception then I did with my G2 which was a t-mobile phone. I have tested it with a Mobilicity sim and it works, just need to set the APNs and the phone must be unlocked
got it
got it, please delete thread.
